It also warms my heart that Adeline really enjoys going to see Great Grandpa. She pretty much owns the place and loves all the attention she gets from the residents and the people that work there. Today, for some reason, she wanted to walk to the other side of the facility and, when we did, she discovered their small "library" and immediately started going through the books. She picked these two and proceeded back to Dad's room, books in one arm and her water in the other.
When we got back to Dad's room, Adeline immediately crawled up on the couch and began to "read" the book. Here's the first page. She actually called it her Bible Study.......😏The rest of the day was spent at Grammy's house. The best thing about being a grandparent is that life gets a little slower and we have a little more time to just be. Adeline loves to be outside and it was a beautiful day so we stayed out there till lunch. Adeline made a muddy mess which turned out to be "vegetable soup" and then she discovered that she could "paint" with a chicken feather and water. After lunch we napped (well, I did), played in the back yard some more, she "washed dishes" at the kitchen sink (I always have to stay one step ahead or she'll get herself and the floor soaking wet), we watched the washing machine fill up with water, we pretended we were butterflies, she sat on my lap watching me sew as I prepared some fabric for a project, we put puzzles together, and then played outside some more about the time G-Dad got home. Adeline even went over to the neighbor's to play for about 10 minutes. She loved that because they have a yard full of toys.
I'm always tired at the end of our day together but it's worth it for sure. She loves Grammy so much and that just fills me to the brim!
